1 | Hank - Doctrine from God or Man ? | Bible general Archive 2 | srbaegon | 147419 | ||
Hello Merv, "God gave it as a blessing !!!! Heb. 4 clearly says 'There remains a Sabbath rest'." Yes, and if you read the context, it says nothing about a day of the week. The whole point of Heb. 4 is the rest we have in Christ. Steve |

Yes Steve: it has a paralell meaning of rest in Christ. Ok so why do we keep a "day" of rest at all - the 1st day. No pastor will tell you - "we do not need a day to rest and focus our activities on Jesus and fellowship". You cannot hav it both ways. Heb.4:7 clearly discussed the 7th day. What do you mean it does not mention a day of the week. Do you see my concern: People will argue there is no more Sabbath (7th) based on the "rest in Christ" we have now. But then they go and keep a "day of rest" - 1st day but call it a new "sabbath" or changed sabbath. If we have rest in Christ as many argue from Heb. 4 then why keep a day !!!! Where is the logic Merv |

Hello Merv, I never said that we shouldn't rest from our daily labors. My point is that it isn't a command. Steve |

Wow - it is amazing to here some comments. Did Jesus not teach that Jews are no better than Gentiles - YES !!! How are laws (supposedly only given to Jews but actually Isaiah refutes this as I have already shown) not good also for Gentiles. I know you say "we should rest from our labours" - and I do agree. But explain what we would be doing on this day. Could it be worshiping God and thanking Him for this beautiful world in which we can rest and enjoy the beauty and relaxing scenery. I do not know how you can say the 4th commandment is not a command by God. And by the way, When the rich young rules came to Jesus to ask Him about the law - Jesus clearly repeated commands of the 10 commandments. But again Steve we can argue this to the death but scipture cannot give two answers because God is a consistent and clear God. Either the Sabbath can be any day of the week, no day of the week, the 7th or the 1st. I tend to rely on consistency and scriptural evidence that clearly says it was created in the beginning - God clearly punished by death for not keeping it. Pretty stong support to me that I cannot relying on what I had been taught and assumed was the truth for many years of my life. Again --- Math. 15:3 1 John 2:4 What is the duty of Man -- Ecc. 12:13 Please take my points in love, Merv |

Hello Merv, "Please take my points in love," Perhaps if they were given in love I could. You stubbornly refuse sound doctrine. This is closed. Steve |
